Report: Gronkowski, Amendola playing “as of today”

A report out of New England on Friday is more optimistic about both the tight end’s chances of playing for the first time this season and wide receiver Danny Amendola making his first appearance since the first week of the season.

Ben Volin of the Boston Globe spoke to a source who told him that “as of today, they are playing.” Both players have been limited in practice this week and are listed as questionable on the Patriots’ final injury report of the week.

Volin’s source adds a note of caution, however, by saying that there’s “a lot of time between now and Sunday night.” There could be an update to the status of the players on Saturday should the Patriots decide to leave either one at home when they fly to Atlanta or it could come down to the announcement of the inactives on Sunday evening.

Which basically means that things could wind up going either way for two key members of the New England offense.

Where did i say 3-0 wasn’t good enough?? I said it’s not as fun… I mean would you rather go into every game with all these uncertainties, or go into every game confident that your team is going to blow the other guys out of the water???

If I were to put money on it, I’d bet that Amendola misses more games this year than he plays.. as usual..

If

If I were to believe one of them were going to play my guess is it would be GRONK…. However I would have no issue with them both sitting out this week and both getting healthier for the Bengals game…Edelman can fill in for Danny another week & Zudfeld hs to step up & play like he did in pre season & be a great down the middle check down/redzone threat for Brady….& I believe Bolden can really take advantage in space catching balls on screens…
Brady also has to keep the safeties honest by hitting Dobson & KT on some go routes….
I believe the D is gonna be the key to this game as to keeping Matty Ice scrambling & not just sitting back there & having all day to survey the field!!! Tough game on the road but defiantly winnable with or without Danny & GRONK
Go pats!!!

So does this mean Kenbrell Thompkins and Julian Edelman are worthless on my fantasy team now?

A source in Foxboro, yikes! Someone call the NSA and inform the media. This source could be a stadium cleaner, or the light tower service man or anyone within the confines of that stadium knows what the rest of us know, nothing. Bill Belichick is the only source of true information and everything else is just pure speculation.
